Swire Shipping Fijian Drua flanker Motikai Murray says making his debut for the Drua against the Crusaders in the quarter finals is one of the moments he will never forget.

The 21-year-old was called up by the Fijian Drua while he was training for the Fiji U20 in 2022.

He says he was surprised that the coach called him up and asked if he was ready for the upcoming match against the Crusaders.

Murray adds even though they lost, he had a wonderful time playing alongside the Drua boys and also players he used to watch on the television.

The 21-year-old says he is looking forward to the new season and hopes to become a better version of himself.

The Fijian Drua’s opening match next season will be at the HFC Bank Stadium in Suva, where they will host the Brumbies at 3.35pm on the 15th of February, 2025.
